Borders

Your daddy tried to build a kingdom, how random So you could be a real princess with fandom Maybe you would even find a prince that's handsome I bet you really wanted it, bet you threw a tantrum When daddy said "no," I bet you felt abandoned Handed in your notice as a daughter, felt stranded Till he said "Fine, I'll buy you a land. Where do you want it?" "I want one with sand!" I know where I'll go, I'll go to Africa Where even is it? Can I go by car? I'll hoist my own flag, it'll be magical Come on, pack your bags, I think it's quite far Okay, let me put on some mascara Daddy, maybe I will be a big film star Aw, if you insist, I'll put Disney on the list Dad, wait! Mmmm, I have a faint memory Of some colonial history I swear I saw some random documentary Of something from a distant century It's something to do with that ancestry I think that it's some bullshit called "slavery" "So what are you actually telling me? That I can't build a kingdom with a nice palm tree?" I don't think you understand I just wanna get some land And build a nice border 'round Surely it's mine if I'm the one who found it Don't think you understand I just wanna get some land And build a nice border 'round Surely it's mine if I'm the one who found it Tina just wants to go to school What has she done to you? Why can't she stay at home? Where she knows what to do Are you playing us for a fool? Saying there's not enough room You must be joking, right? Cause I don't buy your rules Now she in a country where she don't know anybody Do I have to tell you bluntly that your deportation's dumb? In Österreich geboren und die Leit san halb erfroren Wie sie sitzn und sich anhorchn müssen Jetzt winkts ihr noch ein letztes Mal zu Our honorary people in blue She's really not the problem, it's you Sie hat die gleichen Rechte wie du! But I already gave Disney a call And they said they gon' make a film of it all It's only a tiny sweet kingdom, so small I don't think they'll notice I took it at all Daddy, I don't think we can do that This might be a stupid plan we had I'd rather just get a big penthouse flat In London or Paris, and get a cat "I'll buy you whatever you want, my sweet Cause you are my princess, sweet honeybee Let's go to Japan on a shopping spree Cause borders mean nothing to rich folk like me" I don't think you understand I just wanna get some land And build a nice border 'round Surely it's mine if I'm the one who found it Don't think you understand I just wanna get some land And build a nice border 'round Surely it's mine if I'm the one who found it What is it with humans building walls Shutting others out and all If you were born here then you're allowed But if you don't look it or sound it, you're out If you were born here but too poor and queer You can't get the citizenship my dear Even if it's been twenty eight years If you have no money, it's over, dear Daddy, I want a castle I thought you got it For me already Mama, ich will nach Hause Wann können wir denn Wieder heim?
